At the same time, it is absolutely impossible to have an aircraft carrier alone. Only the entire aircraft carrier formation can have practical combat significance. Iraq is also working hard for this.

Now, Iraq already has two modern-class destroyers, one Fearless Class anti-submarine ship and the other Fearless Class, which will enter the Iraqi Navy for about a year.

The Hyundai class is mainly responsible for air defense, the Fearless Class is responsible for anti-submarine, and several Heden class and nuclear submarines form Iraq's aircraft carrier lineup. However, this formation is still flawed, that is, there are no regional air defense ships that deal with saturated attacks!

This kind of warship now seems to be the most suitable Glorious Class.

The Glorious Class was a 10,000-ton cruiser built by the Soviet Navy to make up for the high cost of nuclear-powered Kirov-class cruisers. The weapons on it are almost the same as the Kirov-class. What people see in the eyes of the world are often its huge four sets of anti-ship missile launch boxes side by side, inside which is the powerful SS-N-12 anti-ship missile, which is the nemesis of the US aircraft carrier.

However, what Kusai is interested in is its air defense missile! Especially the eight "Thunder" SA-N-6 missile launch devices above, this missile has a range of 100 kilometers and a height of 25,000 meters. It has the current Iraqi aircraft carrier formation and the most lacking regional air defense capabilities. Moreover, this missile can not only strike high-altitude high-speed targets, but also effectively intercept low-altitude targets like "whaling forks", and has strong anti-saturation attack power.

At this time, the Soviet Union was unable to build the No. 4 ship of the Glorious Class. So if Iraq buys it, Gorbachev should be very happy to have some funds for the Soviet Union.

Therefore, Kusai’s research is mainly focused on the No. 4 ship of the Glorious Class. With this warship and Iraq’s aircraft carrier formation, it would be perfect.

Now, the negotiations are in the final stage, and I believe that soon the Ukrainian ship will be renamed Saddam.

Only with a mature aircraft carrier formation can Iraq truly have the right to speak, at least in the Arabian waters, it can effectively prevent the American aircraft carrier formation from entering.

So far, it is still unrealistic to confront the United States in a comprehensive manner, especially in military confrontation, but it is becoming increasingly urgent to compete for hegemony in the Middle East.

The United States' troops stationed in Israel is an absolutely bad signal. With the support of Iraq, more and more countries are beginning to recognize that the Palestinian state will definitely break out between Israel and Palestine.

Photos of the KH-11 keyhole satellite were sent back to the ground, and the CIA personnel carefully analyzed the photos.

The United States incredibly saw that the Soviet Union actually used two ships to build an aircraft carrier. However, this ship was not on the road of continuous construction. It only built one aircraft carrier. It was not like the ship No. 0, which was produced in a flow-through manner.

Moreover, there are more and more doubts on the ship platform. Its bridge is so small that it is not the same as the Soviet Union. No holes are found on the deck, which means there is no anti-ship missile that the Soviets most commonly used by the Soviets. Moreover, the construction speed is much faster than the one on the ship platform. On the day it was launched, many other irrelevant people came to the shipyard.

At the same time, another satellite discovered a scene that surprised them even more. On Gershm Island, something similar to the aircraft carrier deck appeared. Its deck and the shape of the ship island were almost exactly the same as the aircraft carrier that had just been launched.

More and more evidence has shown that this aircraft carrier is very strange. Its owner is probably not the Soviet Navy, but the Iraqi Navy!

The news reported to William's desk. William immediately noticed the problem. He picked up the report and came to the White House.

"His Excellency President, this is our latest discovery." William said to President Bush.

Bush picked it up and he knew the picture above. It was a Soviet aircraft carrier, and the jump deck on it was clearly visible.

This is another product of the United States' deception. The United States itself knows that if it wants to truly become a major navy, it must have an aircraft carrier. Moreover, the larger the aircraft carrier, the more reasonable it can be used. Moreover, catapults are necessary. However, in order to fool the Soviet Union, the United States has been promoting the uselessness of aircraft carriers, especially large aircraft carriers, which has caused the Soviet Union to take many detours. This leap runway is also the product of the United States' deception of the Soviet Union.

"Isn't this the Soviet aircraft carrier? No, it's a heavy-load cruiser. I don't know if they have any fuel money to let the heavy-load cruiser start?" Bush asked.

"Your Excellency the President, you can see clearly. This was found on Gershm Island." William said.

Bush realized the problem only then. After a closer look, he saw that it was not on the ocean, but on land. Is this Gershm Island?

Iraq is here, what do you want to do if you are decorating such a building? It is definitely not a theme park!

"What kind of building is this? Cement or Steel?" Bush asked.

"According to our analysis, it should be steel, and we also analyze that there is a hydraulic cylinder under it, and the entire plane can be shaken." William said.

If it is cement, it's okay. If it is steel, it's very suspicious. In addition, it can shake, so there is almost no doubt. This is a training platform! In addition, what exactly is it on Gershm Island is about to come out!

"So, is this the Iraqis' own aircraft carrier training platform? It's exactly the same as the Soviet Union's set in Ukraine?" Bush asked.

Born into a naval carrier-based aviation, Bush is completely an expert in military affairs. He also knows what this means. It is an Iraqi and is ready to start training his own carrier-based aviation. Where is their aircraft carrier?

"Yes, although we have not found that this system is enabled so far, according to our analysis, this system is the platform built by the Iraqis themselves to train their carrier-based aviation forces." William said.

This thing is so big and cannot be covered up, so when Iraq built this building, it said it was impossible to hide. This system is the simulated take-off and landing platform built by Iraq on the platform of the Baghdad aircraft carrier to train its naval carrier pilots.

In fact, Iraq can now rely on renting the Ukrainian platform to train its own carrier-based aircraft pilots. However, in the long run, this is not a suitable choice. Although Iraq only has this aircraft carrier now, there will definitely be more than one in the future. The talent reserve must start from now on.

The training of qualified carrier-based aircraft aviation is a long process, and a complete system training process must be established. Therefore, during the sea trial of aircraft carriers, this training center similar to that of Ukraine Nitka was also established. In the future, Iraq can train its own carrier-based aircraft on its own land.

Now, here has been noticed by the United States.

"Even if the Iraqis have this training platform, they are just reserved talents. They will still be far away from truly owning aircraft carriers. Iraq's shipyards are now unable to build aircraft carriers. There are not many countries in the world that can make aircraft carriers. We, the United Kingdom, will not export them to them." Bush said. When he saw this thing, he intuitively had the urge to laugh. That Kusai is too whimsical, right? He thought that aircraft carriers were that simple?

"Your Excellency President, take a look at this again," William continued, and he handed Bush the photo of the Black Sea shipyard.

"This is a new aircraft carrier launched by the Black Sea Shipyard a few days ago. It took less than eight years from the start of construction to the launch of the sea trial. This was the fastest speed of the Soviet Union. We noticed that the second aircraft carrier on the original Zero ship platform had not completed the final installation at this time, and this aircraft carrier started construction for two years late, but the progress was ahead."

"If it were the Soviets' own aircraft carriers, they would have done it step by step according to the progress, and the Soviet Union's financial resources were simply not enough to support the construction of aircraft carriers on the two ships." Bush concluded.

Speaking of this, Bush already knew that William wanted to express what he meant this time.

"Soviets have been very short of money since the last era, and Iraq not only has sufficient funds, but also has enough ambitions. When two warships of the Soviet Navy were detained a few years ago, we were very surprised. Now, we can finally come to the conclusion that those two warships were purely a trick created by Iraq and the Soviet Union. The Soviets had long sold them to Iraq, but they were afraid that we would object, so they used such an excuse. Now, the second modern class has quietly joined the Iraqi Navy." William said.

So that's it! A few years ago, the two countries had sex together. Speaking of this, Bush admired Kusai instead. You know, the Soviet Union always sold low-end goods only. How did Kusai convince the senior officials in Moscow to use such high-end Soviet warships? Aircraft carriers! Iraq asked Moscow to build an aircraft carrier for them. How did he convince the Soviet military that there was no objection? You know, eight years ago, the Soviet military was still a powerful force.

Thinking of the upcoming campaign, Bush suddenly had an idea in his mind. Iraq's threat theory, a few words popped into his mind. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian.
